You made an inroad
Into the dense forest
Of my heart
On wings of fire you rode
And with the speed of wind
Did you depart
Leaving me
Lonely, hurt and confused
With so much
Pain and anguish infused
Inside me
Plus meandering shadows
Beside me
Sitting under a tree,
Drained of every feeling
Losing my equilibrium,
With my mind reeling
I ponder over the ways
You courted me those days
Then what has gone wrong
Who stole the bird of song
The butterflies, the flowers,
The clouds and sudden showers,
Was destiny the traitor,
Or you were the violator
Of my faith and trust in you
Which I couldn’t
Visualize and view,
Anyway I lost you
And a part of me,
Forever without clue.
